Hi, I'm interested in the Manfrotto MPMXPROA3US, which is a 3-part monopod for my D500 with a few lenses. Only for photography, no video.
Would you recommend a ball head for this, or is it okay without? I have a Manfrotto Q5 magnesium ball head on my tripod and like it a lot. I was thinking of the MH055M0-Q5, which is very similar to the one I have, but it alone weighs 2.5lbs. It's also like $200.
I was also considering the MVMXPROBASEUS, which is a FLUID base with three feet. It's also very nice, but $100.
XPRO Monopod+ Full Fluid Base
I'll primarily be using it at the zoo, or sometimes in low-light situations where a little more stability is needed. Does this all make sense or is it entirely overkill? I don't need the best stuff, but I also don't want to be upgrading in a few years. I'd like something that lasts. I also really like Manfrotto.
